for the record, what do you wish to install this engine in and get the correct stamped block offered to you from the get go..

[Dave 38]

I don't care what the stamped no.# is ,but it will tell me if it's a 218 or 230.Iam putting an over head valve head on the engine and want the most cu.in.

And it's going in my 38 Dodge coupe.I bought the car in 72.

Is there any chance of seeing a picture of the overhead valve head? It sounds really interesting. Is it an original after market racing accessory or one modified from another make of car? Thanks, Terry

[Dave 38]

OK, enough of the teaseing. Are they cast? billet? Aluminum or cast iron? How many ports? 3 or 6? Size of valves? What kind of carbs are you planning on useing?

You can email photos to me and I will post them. keiser31@charter.net

[Dave 38]

Well, it's cast and it has 6 ports.I can't give all the details.Chris is running 3 holly-webers .Earl was going to run side drafts but went with something diferant.And Iam going to make 2 manifolds.One for around here and one for trips.

Iam also making a new head for the A/B Ford engine.

To look at the Dodge head ,google( Mopar Magazine Edgy).Its the one with 3 valve covers .And almost the hole story is told.(can't tell it all)

And I'll Send pix to keiser31 to post for me.

Thanks Dave

Here...maybe this will satisfy your curiosity....a little.

[nearchoclatetown]

Neato. That should work great. Are you going to bump the compression?

[Dave 38]

I am useing flat top pistons ,that are stock.But the key is in the combustion chamber and the cam that Earl grinds for it.

[Dave 38]

Hey Reg,get back to me on the engine.I Sent you a PM.Let me Know.

Thanks, Dave

[Reg Evans]

I don't know what changed but I use to be informed when there was a new post or PM sent to me. Not any more.

Yes....it's a 58 Truck engine. I sent you a PM. Very interesting head. Too bad he didn't make hundreds of them !

Apologize for hijacking this thread but I know of a 1934 Plymouth engine with unusual raised lettering on the water jacket, re: 'Chrome Molybdenum Iron'. Who knows why? I don't.
